Altera Cyclone III FPGA Starter Kit

The economical Cyclone®
III FPGA Starter Kit is easy to use, and an ideal introduction for users who have never designed with FPGAs before. For experienced FPGA designers checking out the Cyclone III architecture, you'll love building systems leveraging the 60 percent (on average) faster performance and 50% lower power that Cyclone FPGAs offer over the competition. Several design examples included in the kit make for a quick "out-of-the-box" evaluation experience.

Cyclone III FPGAs are the first low-cost FPGA family available in the marketplace harnessing the cost and low-power advantages of 65-nm process technology. They are perfectly suited as embedded processors or microcontrollers when combined with Altera's 32bit Nios II embedded processor intellectual property (IP) cores. You can add many other functions to the Cyclone III FPGA with additional IP cores available from Altera and Altera's partners.
